Be first to see new VW Golf GTI

What Car? is offering readers the chance to take part in an exclusive preview of Volkswagen’s new Golf GTI MkVI, which goes on sale in Spring 2009.

Six readers will be the first members of the public in the UK to see the car in the metal. And specially for this preview, the five previous generations of the GTI will also be on show.

The private preview will take place from 1-3.30pm next Thursday, October 9 at VW’s Milton Keynes HQ.

We’ll be asking you for your views on the car’s design, ergonomics and specification – your comments will be published in What Car? magazine, along with photos we’ll take of you with the car. You’ll also be asked to speak briefly on camera for footage at Whatcar.com.

Please note that this is a static viewing of the car – you won’t be able to drive it at this event.

If you would like to take part, email us by clicking here by midnight, Sunday, October 5, including the following info: where you’ll be travelling from on the day, your mobile number, what car you currently drive, and a few lines on why you’re interested in seeing the new Golf GTI.

We’ll get in touch the next day if you’ve been successful, with further details of the event.
